I recently found Siren Records in McHenry, IL. not only do they have music but many options for…read morevintage stereo equipment and repairs. The owner Bill is very knowledgeable and great to work with. They repaired my 1970's Sony PS-T3 turntable and it runs great now. I did find a nice upgrade turntable as well. They are enlarging the shop and have huge selection of vinyl. Stop in, you won't regret it.

Bill and his crew know their stuff about music and they definitely have a lot of it! They carry…read morelots of new music, but their focus seems to be on used records and CDs. There's a lot to go through. They also carry a huge amount of used stereo equipment and Joe can answer just about any question you might have on any subject you can come up with regarding stereo equipment, speakers, accessories and jazz music too. He's there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. One caveat: the store can be quite cluttered with stacks of boxes and records and other items and sometimes they make it hard to get through aisles or inhibit your ability to shop items they have in stock. That's to both you and the shop's detriment. I brought it up to the owner once and he got short with me, so I left and haven't been back since, only because it's about an hour's drive for me. I will be back, I just won't anger the gods anymore.

Went in for a visit with my friend, and we immediately felt off. We were not welcomed in (no hi,…read morehow's it going) despite being the only ones there. Worker was watching tv (no worries it was slow totally get it) but it was way loud and didn't lower the volume we basically had to scream to each other to talk. While we were looking did not get asked if we needed help with anything. The atmosphere was just off and we both agreed we felt unsafe to be honest. Selection was nice and organized well, but other than that we feel no reason to come here over other places. Will not be going again

My nephew started taking his son here when he was about 5. He loved going to this store! My nephew…read morealso enjoyed it. As years went by he bought quite a lot! Tim moved and expanded. My nephew took in his now grown sons stereo for repair. It was just before covid. Then covid hit. We were all sick and things happen. It sat awhile. My nephew kept in touch about it tho. Several texts went back and forth as did a few calls. Suddenly it can't be found! Hmmm how odd! When my nephew called he was told it was "lost" or possibly thrown out! I sincerely doubt either! It's worth on ebay $250-$400 and Tim is well aware of that! To do this to someone he's known since 5 and is now 23 is sad, rude and sketchy to say the least! When my nephew confronted him he basically asked him to leave the store! I've personally heard other record store owners comment on his business practices. They were not positive at all. It's his karma! He had the nerve to try and SELL him ANOTHER for $150 I would not shop here! I certainly would not bring anything in to get fixed. He never called, texted or emailed and said you NEED to pick up your stereo or it will be considered abandoned or sold or anything! He never gave a straight answer! Buyer beware! There are lots of music shops in McHenry. Go there instead.

The antique part runs along side of the main attractions. There are many small booths that run through 4 buildings. Lots to look through. The one building is a maze over several floors including a barn attic. They are connected by a covered walkway. I wouldn't think they are handicapped accessible. I found some albums with decent prices. I wouldn't make it a destination, but I'd stop if I was in the area.
